Hey now! Germans created sausages with love and a sense of pride. Hotdogs require hate and poverty to be made correctly.
Someone's been enjoying Josh Johnson's shows.
And we don't call the sausage hot dog, only the finished product.
Plus as a German Id go with the Danish version using a pølser.
Pretty sure hot dogs can't even legally be called proper sausages in Germany or the rest of the EU. Too much filler and preservatives.
My Hotdog is usually with a Schüblig.
I think you can call them as you like, but American meat usually is not considered food for humans in the EU. The problem typically is the amount of hormones.
And antibiotics.
There is a german joke/saying; Why does the butcher not eat sausage? –Because he knows what's inside!
